-When the American Civil War ended, there were mass freedmen/women weddings, so they could be legally married under the law, not just in God's eyes.

-Average slave married in late teens and started family

-Marriages between slaves were not legal (What!? They weren't allowed to marry? Why was that? How did that become a law/rule?)

-Slaves married in God's eyes, even if not legally/officially.

-The married couple would usually jump over a broom to end the wedding ceremony

-Slave and master's children usually played together until about 8 yrs old. That's when the slave children usually started to work.

-Games children played: Ring Around The Rosie, Sally Walker, marbles, husk or cloth dolls, jump rope, Hide & Seek, running, jumping, balls

-Slaves told stories about Brer Rabbit, who was based on an African hare called Wakaima
